What is Yamaha bringing to Southampton International Boat Show 2026?

Yamaha Marine UK will return to Southampton International Boat Show, running 18 to 27 September, with a line-up of new boat debuts, marine technology demonstrations and displays from across its dealer and partner network. The show includes the Yamarin Aura Cabin, alongside live demonstrations of Yamaha’s Helm Master EX Wireless Controller Station – both recently reviewed by PBR.

Yamarin Aura Cabin

Displayed on berth M038 will be the Yamarin Aura Cabin, following its launch earlier this year. Yamarin’s new flagship model is a 34ft pilothouse boat combining Nordic design with year-round usability. Powered by twin Yamaha F250, F300 or F350 outboards, Yamarin state the Aura Cabin is built for precise handling, refined onboard acoustics and reliability.

Other debuts at the show include the Sterk 26, a new-generation performance weekender at berth M138; the Orkney 592 Vanguard Design at berth M035, which pairs Orkney’s seaworthy hull design with Yamaha power; and the Olympic 30SR RIB at berth M037, aimed at family boating, watersports and coastal exploration.

How does the Helm Master EX Wireless Controller Station work?

Visitors can also see exclusive demonstrations of the Helm Master EX Wireless Controller Station aboard a Jeanneau 9 Cap Camarat WA fitted with twin F250 engines, at berth M042. The system allows the captain to manoeuvre the boat from anywhere onboard rather than only from the helm, while monitoring depth, heading and speed on a handheld display. It also includes man overboard alerts, activated via tags worn by the captain and up to eight crew members, plus Autopilot, Staypoint, Fishpoint and Driftpoint functions at the touch of a button.

What else can visitors see on the Yamaha stands?

Across berths M035 to M042 and M138 to M139, Yamaha’s displays also include the Sealegs 7.5m Sport RIB (M035, with a demonstration unit at M036), Yamarin 80 DC (M039), Yamarin 67 DC (M040), Ballistic XP80 RIB (M041) and Sterk 31 (M139). Yamaha Motor UK’s land stand (P24) will host South Coast dealers Hayling Jetsport Performance and The Outboard Centre, alongside a Limited Edition 70th anniversary SuperJet WaveRunner, a range of WaveRunners, outboard engines, Torqeedo solutions and YAM inflatables. Watersports personality Joe Hill of Classic Jetskis will also be on hand to meet visitors. Partner brands showcasing at the show include Silver Boats, Whaly Boats, Swallow Yachts, Saltwater Solutions, MCC Marine, Rodman, Grand Boats and Sea Ventures, among others.

SIBS 2026 is set to be another exciting one for Yamaha. We can’t wait to present the Yamarin Aura at the event. As the UK’s flagship boating festival, SIBS provides the perfect opportunity to showcase the new design and demonstrate Yamarin’s long-standing commitment to creating boats that perform exceptionally – without compromise.
We’ll also be demonstrating the state-of-the-art Helm Master EX Wireless Controller Station, following the positive response we received at last years’ event, where the innovation made its debut.
As always, we’re looking forward to connecting with our valued partners, customers, and marine enthusiasts at this global event.
